Flash movies and modalPanel

[demetrio812]

Hi,
in a page with a flash movie, in Firefox when I show a modal panel the flash movie under the panel disappear, this is not that bad as in Internet Explorer 7 where the flash movie stay active and over the modal panel making it unusable.

Is there a way to solve this?

do you use RichFaces 3.0.0 or one of the 3.0.1 snapshot ?

It seems to be not a bug.. I've found following solution:

On HTML page add the following parameter to the Flash OBJECT tag: param name="wmode" value="transparent"
On HTML page add the following parameter to the Flash EMBED tag: wmode="transparent"

After this changes flash movie is placed under modal panel in IE7.

Hi, this issue appears to be similar to my own own about showing the modal panel on IE while a pdf file is being shown through the Adobe plugin.
Any suggestion for it as well ? Any specific parameter to enforce transparency and to disable the plugin ?
